Something like this, without commentary.

Or something like this with commentary.

In terms of entertainment value, which do you guys think you would prefer?

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

I personally prefer no commentary, but if you do commentary, and are good at it, then that's the kind of commentary I prefer.

are you thinking purely informative commentary or humorous kind of commentary?

No commentary.

A video that is edited properly with some commentary is fine when its a tutorial of some sort, otherwise I prefer none at all.

Always up for REACH customs!

Only if you've got something important to say. Narration isn't necessary.

I believe it goes on a person-by-person basis. The video with commentary has gotten many more views than the one without commentary. If you can do commentary, I say go for it.

Agreed. I find that a combination of humor and valid information makes a great commentary.

Too many people are all like "Here I use the AR to beat down a kid. Then I throw a grenade. Just died, but my grenade killed him from the grave. Respawn timer at 3.2.1. Respawned..." etc.

But I prefer telling WHY things are happening. What's going through my head, the relevance of every mistake and all that jazz. And for the most part people have liked it in the past.
